These guys aren't related. They are Uncles of a guy I used to work with. I think he said this was taken somewhere near Maquoketa Iowa. Since they couldn't afford a manure spreader, they used the stone boat. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Glenn, I have the cast hubs, just been put on the back burner for too long. What I need is the wedge bolts and I don't want to spring for new at $17 x 8. I also have a good wheel to replace that 4 loop one but that one still holds air and I have been mowing with the tractor. I might get to work on her this summer since I sold the other place( where I kept the B for mowing) to my daughter and SIL. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Butch, if I had to make em, I think I would see if I could borrow a die head with chasers. That would cut down the lathe time considerably. I might have to set up the mill vise on my South Bend to cut the head. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I noticed on my adjustable arch B that the arch seems slightly sprung, the wheels look a bit splayed. Could that be normal or did someone pull too many wheelies? My 39 has hydraulics but they could have been added later. I've only seen one B without a pto, the one my dad owned in Ohio but was bought in Iowa. That would have to be about as basic as you could get.

acd21man. A friend had the old style Firestone Ground Grip Tires (turkey track) on his J.D. Model LA. They are in great shape and I talked him into selling them to me so I could have a match to the tires my grandpa had on it in 1942. Thanks for your post. |

Dave, this was a regular B. It was my second tractor. IB was first. I liked the IB so much i converted the B to a low rider type. I rolled the rear alxes 90 degrees. I removed the front wishbone alxe and made a straight alxe out of steel plates. I put short pipe section on each end and used the original spindles. You will note the torque tube is off a B, not shorter like the IB... main problem is the steering shaft sets low when you use a B torque tube. Wish it swept up more at the seat end, but it works good. I reused the B fenders as compared to using ID (WD45 type). Had to make a few mods to the fender mounts and seat mount. I bought a Continental 6 ft mower deck and put under it to trim fields. Stays on all the time. I use the IB to switch impleements - blade - plow- disc.
